I'll go out on a limb and say that 99% of the people buying "Glide" dental floss at COSTCO have NO IDEA that they're coated in toxins (PFAS) and if they pick up a gargantium bag of Cheerios for their kids they also proba

Swapping out silicon calls for network calls is the definition of complicated...And starting complicated because you want to achieve some premature optimization is insane. Monoliths are preferable for 90% of the use cases that you see in pu

As a kid I thought the shuttle was awesome. As an adult I'm horrified by it. Damn near every tile was custom and snowflake. Orbiter had to be stripped down to the frame every launch. Tanks required major refurbishing... Massive gaping

Doing this would sure tip the scales in favor of massive feed lots and industrial farming. Tens of thousands of people are buying products from these farms. it's a viable option. This odd artificial reintroduction of an animal that&#x2

Plenty of ranches (privately owned) use livestock waste for farming and to improve the soil. You're arguing that we should allow wolves -- that the government introduces -- to wipe out the main component of their ranch (livestock). In

People can and do buy products from smaller regenerative farms. https://thehighlonesomeranch.com/ And I suspect that these ranches could take heavy loses (wolves have been seen killing 15+ elk in a single hunt) and I fully

That's the irony in all of this. The Fort is sprinkling their wisdom down upon the masses and proclaiming that C++ is unsafe while arguing for a language that's a wrapper for c++ developers...Reminds me of John Gall's book ab

If you fell into a timewarp and somehow woke up in the first century BC you'd be more than horrified. The Celtic war chief Brennus had tried (and failed) to wipe out the Greeks a hundred or so years before. He had managed to capture an
